I have a consulting graduate internship that pays $43 an hour with Kaiser. I was told it was the maximum for the region (San Jose). I’m kind of anxious that after the internship period, it may be hard to find a company paying comparable given that this is a graduate internship and not even a full time permanent position. Is this normal? Do most consulting positions start above this pay level anyway?

Hard to equate hourly rates with salaries positions. But if you assume 40h/week and 48 working weeks, you’re looking at a tad over $80k a year which is definitely doable for more consulting positions. Of course, in actuality you’ll be working more than 40h/week as a salaried worker

oh okay bet, thank you for responding!

Yes. That’s only $86k without benefits which you can now get as a starting salary at many places.

Woah woah woah. Let's chill for a second. $42/he isn't bad and the @mk1 is right, comes out to $80kish. If you're worried, which is a valid feeling, go on Glassdoor or here and look for comparable salaries. Also, take into account that when you do get an offer there's other perks like PTO, 401K, healthcare, etc.

Also, don't be anxious about the period after the internship. Work your hardest and cross that bridge when you get there!

Some of the best things that will happen to you are those that aren't plan!

thank you so much for your response. I needed this reassurance!

That works out to around 80k full time, right? Most consulting gigs will start at or above that number for full time offers in M/HCOL areas

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
